If you are interviewing at the University of Rochester, it is my opinion that it will be worth it. I hope to attend U of R for medical school in the near future, for a couple of reasons.
1. Back in 1970, when I was 4 years old, my Grandfather was admitted to Strong Memorial (the U of R's main hospital) with a dissecting aortic aneurysm. They were able to repair it non-surgically, and subsequently gave him (us) 14 more years with his family.
2. 15 months ago, my son was born at Strong. The great atmosphere for learning on the OB/GYN ward was apparent. The MS's were allowed to fully participate in the delivery, even though it was a difficult delivery. The attending (my wifes regular OB/GYN) was great with my wife, the MS's, and I throughout.
After his birth, my son spent a couple of days in the NICU. I was VERY impressed with the care he received while in the NICU as well.
In the Western New York Region, U of R MS has a great reputation.
